This has some similarities to an odd visionary experience I had a few years ago. Mine is a lot more metaphorical than yours, but it seems likely it's talking about something similar.
In mine, I saw the Earth, but there also another planet orbiting the sun with it, sometimes getting closer, sometimes further away; I'm not sure how long it lasted, but they made dozens of passes. The last time they got really close together, a small swarm of something utterly alien leaped from the other world and landed on the Earth. They spent a while exploring, and then realized they wanted to go home. By the time the swarm realized it wanted to leave, the two planets were too far apart, and the majority of the swarm was stuck; some of them tried to leave and got stranded in the vastness of space, others tried and crashed back to Earth, and a small few made it back home.
The ones that made it back then told the others back at their home, who spent the time between then and now creating tools to bring everyone home. They've found ways to strengthen the connection, and now that our worlds are coming close have started this process. This has had all kinds of weird and destructive consequences on the Earth; in the metaphorical version I saw, this included moving all the oceans to the northern hemisphere, cracking the planet, and plenty of fires. Making things worse, these alien animals have spent a long time on Earth; while some of them are eager to return home, others, sensing the pull back to their old home, are digging into the ground to try to avoid being pulled away from their new home.
Even worse, some of the alien animals did not just settle down here: some of them have become closely tied with animals already living here. There are animals who do belong here who are being dragged away from Earth because they are holding onto the aliens being yanked away. At this point, the vision ended, and I got a very strong sense that I could not see the outcome, because it is yet to happen.
